Answering my own question as I have FINALLY found the cause of all my troubles …
I had created an __init__.py
file at the root of my project to define a project version as a constant..
After reading here and there about Django modules and namespaces, I removed the __init__.py
from my root directory and that solved the problem.
**edited my question above to show the file in question
